Real voices: how native speakers say it

These sentences were read aloud by real people — native Japanese speakers — for the open Mozilla Common Voice project. Listen to how a phrase sounds in real speech: the intonation, the pace, the way words run together. Two speakers mean two different people read it — compare them.

じつにみなげんしゅくなかおをしてたべている、これもいっしゅのぎしきのようなもので、Really, everyone eats with a solemn face, this too is like a kind of ritual,

かんせいしょうのしょうとはあららぎしゅうであるThe capital of Gansu Province is Lanzhou.
